Home from the hospital.

Just a quick note to let you all know that I am home from the hospital, and the surgery on my foot went well. Not much pain yet, but, I am sure I will have some tonight. The doctor gave me some vicodan, so that should help out! Hopefully the drugs won't knock me out so I can watch the Steelers game on TV tonight. One of the nurses had 2 tickets to the game tonight, and was selling them. She told me I could prop my foot up on the seat in front, and I could go to the game. I thought better of it, and decided to just watch the game on TV. I will be off from work for at least the next 2 1/2 weeks, so I will have plenty of time to update you all on here. Nathan (my Grandson) started kindergarten today. I bet he had a great time. I will keep you all posted on how I am doing. Feel free to stop by and say hello to me!

Latest news from here.

It has been a while since I have blogged any news on here. I apologize for that, but, things have been busy here. I am having my foot surgery in 2 days. Kind of nervous about that, but also anxious to get it done. My foot has really been hurting more this week. Too much walking on the mail routes will do that. I will let you all know how it goes, and if it was successful.
The Pirates have been really lousy lately. They are on a 5 game losing streak, and have lost 17 out of the past 24 games. Not a good way to end the season. Looks like they will definitely have their 16Th losing season in a row. That is not a good record to have. Maybe next year??
My dad is doing better. He went on a pontoon boat ride this past Saturday. Sounds like he really enjoyed it too. He got out and went to church on Sunday, and out to breakfast afterwards. I think he will be just fine.
Joey starts back to school tomorrow. He is a senior this year. He wants the school year to go slow, but, it will probably fly by. He will be going to basic training for the National Guard right after he graduates. I hope by then that the USA will be pulling all of our troops back from Iraq. I don't want to see him going overseas. I know he may have to, but, I hope he doesn't.
Okay, that's about all for now. Will write more after my surgery. Keep me in your prayers.
